David Crum from Kent State, Kyle Trask from Florida, and Garrett Shrader from Mississippi State all put up better QB numbers vs Auburn than Burrow did. More yards per attempt, more touchdowns (Crum tied Burrow with just 1 TD), and less interceptions.
Then you have to adjust Burrow's numbers to take into account that LSU's offensive line brazenly held on probably 30 out of Burrow's 42+ dropbacks.
Mississippi State and Florida also scored as many (or more) points against Auburn as LSU did.
More intriguing is the tidbit I picked up from an AU source who attended the game. It rained less than a quarter of an inch in Baton Rouge on Saturday morning (before 6am), and there was only around an inch of rain on Thursday and Friday. Yet the field looked like it had received 5+ inches of rain and was in piss poor shape.
There's a strong suspicion that LSU wet the field repeatedly with fire hoses so they could slow down Auburn's pass rush. Dunno if that's true, but Auburn had been told the field had good drainage and had to scramble to adjust footwear after warm-ups.
